I have a pure sativa and I flowered at damn 1 feet hoping it would just double its size to 2 ft but instead it has reached 3.6 ft.. Lesson learned but I am currently a day away from being in the 9th week of flowering and all the nodes seem to have hair and preflowers are growing out preflowers which is strange but I don't see any bud formation?! Its under a 150 w hps with a 45 w CFL on the side.. This sucks ass lol definitely doing indicas from nowon

Many dominant sativa's can go for upwards of 14 wks man. That is why they are not welcome in my garden, ever. I just chopped down 15 girls the other day, for being too slow. Bitches.

My buddy had one that took 16 weeks in the back of his garden and it was crazy airy fluffy shit. It also caused extreme paranoia and made my heart race. People thought it was laced with PCP or some shit..

Pics would help alot......@ 9 weeks even a sativa dom would have very very decent if not chunky ass buds formed Imo. Even under a 150 Hps you figure 16,000 lumens at least and a CFL, it should be getting enough light penetration for one plant easily. How far away is the light, No light leaks or any other stress problems you could think of?

1. It stretched from 1ft to 4ft.

2. It has very little bud formation at 9 weeks of 12/12.

It sounds like there is a problem with your lighting situation, either not enough light or something...

150 w hps with a 45 w CFL on the side.
That should be enough for one plant, but maybe you have the light to far away from the plant or the bulbs are low quality or old and are not putting out the normal amount of light they should be.
